Making the case for the #CorsiRosenthalBox with studies.

A simple thread.
"no U.S. Energy Star certified air cleaners have CADR values (for either tobacco smoke, dust, or pollen) matching the CADR value for the CR Box even on low speed "

On cost? 1/10th.

1019 to 1444 m3/hr CADR.

(600 to 850 ft3/min)

Published here:
tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10… ImageImage
An incredibly thorough study published in February 2023, with all of its authors from @NIOSH.

With universal masking in a 3-ply cotton mask, exposure to the relevant aerosol size is reduced by 88 to 94%, with the #CorsiRosenthalBox.

73% w/ CRBox alone.

sciencedirect.com/science/articl… ImageImage
Very good thread on this study here:

Essentially the same NIOSH team investigated HEPA efficacy.

65% reduction with HEPA alone.

So, at a much cheaper price, the #CorsiRosenthalBox gets better results.

cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
But can HEPAs remove SARS-COV-2 from the air? Yes.

(Would #CorsiRosenthalBox do the same? Yes - faster and cheaper.

Has it been studied specifically for this? No. HEPAs barely have.

Do the same laws of physics apply? Yes.)

journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11… Image
But can HEPAs really remove SARS-COV-2 from the air?

Yes - in a UK hospital, HEPAs were off. Cov1d was in the air. Turned on. No more CoV1d.

1000 m3/hour CADR.

Remember the first study?

1019 to 1444 m3/ hour for the CR box.

@MarinaC_Dyb and her fellow authors found a massive reduction in aerosols in OCCUPIED classrooms using the #CorsiRosenthalBox. Also found that ALL of the air went in.

No wonder they have rolled them out to 400 locations.

Study is linked here:

Oh for Pete's sake. @elonmusk has just killed another thread.

Let me add these manually.
"Also found that ALL of the air went in" - quoting above to go into a little more detail:

This answers, in a study, the concern that it just moves the air around. That it won't go into the filter.

It does, and this had to be pointed out.
The CDC, of which NIOSH is part of, has officially recommended 5 ACH, minimum, and that DIY Air Cleaners are effective at reducing the risk of transmission of Cov1d.

The #CorsiRosenthalBox is
specifically mentioned as part of that solution.

cdc.gov/coronavirus/20… ImageImageImage
@3M has studied it in their formal lab - and is officially on board:

news.3m.com/2022-02-24-3M-…
The famous UL, Inc testing the safety of the #CorsiRosenthalBox, to make sure it won't catch on fire.

It won't - even if the filters are loaded up.

(The link that is out on Twitter appears to be dead.)

ul.org/library/2988
"Does Using Corsi–Rosenthal Boxes to Mitigate COVID-19 Transmission Also Reduce Indoor Air Concentrations of PFAS and Phthalates?"

Yes.

pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac… Image
Some have expressed surprise that this was found.

Dr. Corsi explains:

And the rest of your family?

30 case studies- oops, 30 of your stories here, where your family used the #CorsiRi
A thesis - a study, that found 7 PFAs, and exposure to for both dog and human. (@ShellyMBoulder collaborated).
elischolar.library.yale.edu/ysphtdl/2161/ Image
How do we know that dogs are affected? Because it is dogs that get experimented on.

And not to get too personal, but my dog has stage 4 chronic kidney disease. CKD can be caused by PFAs.

Did I do that? Or at least not prevent it? A lot of

wunc.org/health/2021-05… Image
years with no air filtration.

But hey - she is 15 years old, and it could be just old age.

In any event, I don't want to go into any more detail, but now I know better.

But besides PFAs, dogs can catch Cov1d.

As can cats.

In fact, from the study, we should see our cat as part of our family regarding virus transmission.

Can a cat or dog wear a mask?

Yes, with training.

But what if you could reduce their risk of catching Cov1d without all that? Image
And the risk to the rest of your family?

30 case studies- oops, 30 of your stories here, where your family used the #CorsiRosenthalBox as the centerpiece of your family pandemic prevention protocol.

And it worked.

Natalie Shure at it again. Community Noters - there are two excellent notes waiting for your votes.

Let me take this silliness apart.

Thread.
"these people aren’t just cruel/politically toxic,"

Telling people like Selma Blair that their MS is all in their head - now that's cruel. Telling LongHaulers it's all in their head - also, cruel.

I am sure harsh words were said, and Natalie will be a scouring all of the
worst ones to try and tag me to associate me with their poorly chosen words.

Except, now she won't as I have vaccinated my thread again st that silliness by calling it out.

"politically toxic" - 13% of America is still masking, based on the latest poll. What was the margin

.Airborne Dementia - got your attention?

@amy_fleming- great article! Dr. Schultek - fascinating study!

As one of a hive mind of clean air advocates, I think we can add something to this conversation.

🌬️ 🧵 🌬️
Quick intro - the study shares a variety of pathogens leading to dementia.

Below, we have Cryptococcus neoformans, a fungal infection, taking out a 70 year old man - but he was cured! 👇

Pleasantly surprising, the CDC has it marked as by inhalation.

. cdc.gov/cryptococcosis…A recent paper she jointly lead-authored, published in Alzheimer’s and Dementia, compiled a long list of case reports where infectious disease was discovered to be the primary cause of dementia, meaning that, in many cases, the dementia was reversible. A few of the patients died, but most survived and saw significant improvements in cognitive function, including a man in his 70s who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease after his swift cognitive decline saw him unable to drive or, eventually, leave the house alone. A sample of his cerebrospinal fluid was taken and revealed a fungal in...
Cryptococcosis is a serious fungal infection caused by breathing in fungal spores in the environment.
Unpleasantly, but not surprisingly, the CDC has completely abrogated its responsibilities at prevention.

cdc.gov/cryptococcosis…

So, here we go....

We spend 90% of our lives indoors.
epa.gov/report-environ….

We spend 5% of each day in a car.

fatherly.com/gear/how-much-… Prevention steps and strategies It's difficult to avoid breathing in Cryptococcus in areas where it is in the environment. There are no formal recommendations to prevent cryptococcal infection. However, most people who breathe in Cryptococcus never get sick from it. People with symptoms that may be caused by Cryptococcus, should see a healthcare provider as soon as possible

. I was going to leave this alone, but I can't help replying, @chrisvanderveen.

This is not directed at you, personally, as it is the CDC is to blame. Which means the President is to blame as they appoint the CDC director.

We can only know what we know.

🧵
Your reply above regarding the emergency phase being over, is ironic, given it happens in the context of a reply to your thread (that I liked) observing the absurdity of focused protection.

When, in fact, focused protection is the position of the CDC today. Image
Use focused protection if you or a family member is at high risk.

High risk is an interesting term.

I used to point out that the CDC definition had 74% of Americans as high risk for acute damage.

But the CDC hasn't mentioned that in years - or LongCovid.

Not often do I stare at a news story with my jaw hanging open.

🔥 🧵 🔥

@Raw_Farm has been forced to halt all sales of their "Bird Flu Milk" by the California state, because their dairy cows have #H5N1.

The Cali gov can say, "Told you so."

latimes.com/environment/st…
This comes two days ago after Mark McAfee swore up and down that his cows were not infected.

latimes.com/environment/st…McAfee said he does not think the virus is present in his herd. The tests that the state's agriculture department have been regularly conducting twice a week on his bulk milk have been negative. In addition, he noted, a test taken on Monday also showed no virus. In addition, he said, he monitors each cow at his farms with a high- tech device - made by the Austrian company smaXtec - which sits in a cow's udder and sends real-time information about the animal's body temperature, milk acidity, etc.
Less than two days ago after his screams that he was being persecuted by the state.

Less than a week after California health officers confirmed a finding of bird flu virus in store-bought raw milk, state agriculture officials descended on Mark McAfee’s Raw Milk dairy “like never before” Wednesday and began collecting samples from the farm’s two herds, creamery, bulk milk tanks and trucks, according to the owner.

Bhattacharya is an unserious person for a serious position.

A quick break down of his comments.

I thought the beginning where they share a snide laugh about LongCovid spoke volumes.

Then, Bhattacharyra (or Bhattie for short), talks about 100 million missed cancer screenings.
100 million cancer screenings missed - this is a serious issue.

Decent write-up below.

But what Bhattacharyra does not mention is the WHY.

theguardian.com/society/2022/n…
Hospitals were slammed BECAUSE of C0V1D the disease, even WITH the lockdowns. If Bhatttie had his way, and no lockdowns, it would been exponentially worse.

People were also avoiding hospitals because they did not want to catch Covid.



Next, Bhattie nature.com/articles/s4301…First, although the data remain limited, patients with cancer appear to be more vulnerable to worse outcomes from the infection, including greater need for ventilator support1 and elevated mortality rates2,3. Second, diagnosis may be delayed as screening programs and diagnostic services have been decreased or suspended in many countries, and patients, wary of exposing themselves to the risk of infection, have been more reluctant to present to healthcare services. Third, treatment pathways have been altered to minimize potential exposure of patients with cancer to SARS-CoV-2 and to reduce th...

I will happily buy Prasad a gallon of raw milk - but only if he will have it fortified with H5N1.

Unlike him, I actually have read the H5N1 milk studies, and can accurately predict he would not have a good time.

Here kitty, Vinay nay.

/1 It is obvious that Prasad is an idiot.
You see, H5N1 viruses love to bind to α2,3-linked sialic acid receptors which are AMPLY expressed (a fancy way of saying they are everywhere) in the human intestine.



/+ academic.oup.com/jid/article-ab…Image
Although this information came from an autopsy of an H5N1 victim, I am in no way wishing the same on him.

Just offering to grant unto him that which he wishes.

/+ Human gut amply express the right receptors.
